My husband is from Mexico City and really enjoyed the illustrations and cultural references. He said it made him very nostalgic, and loved the ending as well. His family had a maid that was with them for many, many years, and saw the kids grow up. She was the first to arrive at our wedding, and cried tears of joy when he walked down the aisle. I think that special relationship is held by many who grew up in Mexico:).Beckyhttp://www.kidworldcitizen.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898220076341373833.post-75923858969738317882012-10-04T18:21:02.521-04:002012-10-04T18:21:02.521-04:00Hi, Sasha!
Thanks for sharing about Las Adelitas...Hi, Sasha! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing about Las Adelitas. I don&#39;t know very much about them, but if you are interested in writing up something, perhaps a short lesson plan appropriate for students, with family-friendly resources about Las Adelitas, I would be delighted to publish it here on MommyMaestra. <br /><br />I don&#39;t think I would reject the book because of the name, though. I&#39;ve known lots of people named Maria, Inez, Catalina, Juan Jose, Noah, Jane, Emma, Katie, etc, and they are all very different!<br /><br />And for the record, the maid doesn&#39;t really &quot;save&quot; Adelita in the story. She basically shows Adelita the trunk containing her mother&#39;s old clothes and Adelita puts them on and walks to the party herself. :)Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12347426995107090517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898220076341373833.post-2442426316792983562012-10-04T17:05:32.959-04:002012-10-04T17:05:32.959-04:00I am actually the dissenter on this post!

Las Adelitas are such a force of power and pride in Mexico. The Women of the Mexican Revolution who took up arms alongside their brothers and fathers to overthrow an oppressive dictatorship and to distribute land and freedom to all their country men.<br /><br />Mexico does not need a fairytale called &quot;Adelita&quot; to tell the story of a girl who needed to be saved by her trusted family maid. Mexico has the true history of the true Adelitas who saved themselves and their country. We should read the history of the Adelitas to our daughters and sons, and reject make-believe by the same name.
